Back window part seal structure for vehicle with retractable roof

Abstract

In a back window part seal structure for a vehicle with a retractable roof wherein a weather strip is used, an outer panel provided on a deck cover includes an upper overlap portion that covers a weather strip at an upper edge of a back window from diagonally above and behind the vehicle to improve the sealing property and achieve a configuration in which the assembly failure is less likely to occur.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A back window part seal structure for a vehicle with a retractable roof, comprising:
 a roof member and a back window switchable between a fully closed position in which a cabin is covered and a fully opened position in which the cabin is uncovered; and 
 a deck cover having a window frame to be fitted with the back window, wherein
 the deck cover includes an outer panel located toward an outside of a vehicle body, 
 the back window has a peripheral edge portion on which a weather strip is mounted, and 
 the outer panel includes an upper overlap portion that covers the weather strip at an upper edge of the back window from diagonally above and behind the vehicle. 
 
 
     
     
       2. The back window part seal structure for a vehicle with a retractable roof of  claim 1 , wherein
 the upper overlap portion includes an end edge located at an outward position with respect to an end edge of a lighting surface of the back window. 
 
     
     
       3. The back window part seal structure for a vehicle with a retractable roof of  claim 2 , wherein
 the deck cover includes rear pillar portions located on left and right sides of the back window, and 
 the rear pillar portions each include a side overlap portion that covers the weather strip on left and right edge portions of the back window from a rear of the vehicle. 
 
     
     
       4. The back window part seal structure for a vehicle with a retractable roof of  claim 3 , wherein
 the upper overlap portion protrudes to the rear of the vehicle beyond the side overlap portion, and covers an upper end portion of the side overlap portion from the rear of the vehicle. 
 
     
     
       5. The back window part seal structure for a vehicle with a retractable roof of  claim 1 , wherein
 the outer panel includes a decorative board provided at least at an end portion on a rear side of the vehicle, and 
 the upper overlap portion is formed on the decorative board. 
 
     
     
       6. The back window part seal structure for a vehicle with a retractable roof of  claim 2 , wherein
 the outer panel includes a decorative board provided at least at an end portion on a rear side of the vehicle, and 
 the upper overlap portion is formed on the decorative board. 
 
     
     
       7. The back window part seal structure for a vehicle with a retractable roof of  claim 3 , wherein
 the outer panel includes a decorative board provided at least at an end portion on a rear side of the vehicle, and 
 the upper overlap portion is formed on the decorative board. 
 
     
     
       8. The back window part seal structure for a vehicle with a retractable roof of  claim 4 , wherein
 the outer panel includes a decorative board provided at least at an end portion on a rear side of the vehicle, and 
 the upper overlap portion is formed on the decorative board.
